On 30 June 2022, the EU and New Zealand signed an agreement on the exchange of personal data between Europol and New Zealand to better fight crime and terrorism. The agreement aims to promote law enforcement cooperation while ensuring strong protection of fundamental rights, such as data protection in particular. Europol officials will be able to assist New Zealand authorities on a case-by-case basis in investigations, specifically in the fight against terrorism, organised crime, child sexual abuse and cybercrime.
